Question for the HR hivemind:
I have to answer a specific set of follow-up questions to an initial job inquiry. It will be in an email directed to a specific person at the company (not an HR person, likely my future boss). What does one put for: "What is your current salary and expectations?" Is there a good non-answer? (Note: If I put a down a figure for current salary, I will not lie).
Jess, do you have this app already?
megan, not an HR person, but that question is included on the form people have to fill out for my University: If you don't think you can skip it altogether (that's what I tell people to do applying here - it doesn't affect whether we interview anyone) then I would say something like, "people in my current position are compensated in the following range using the broadest definition you can. (e.g. a reference librarian at my place makes anywhere from 30K - 80K) Likewise, I'd give a range for the expectations based on some research.
I can use Google Streetview to see what foof chains are at each one!
Because foof's important.
I think those Christians are going, "Well, sure, no one *knows*, but for the truly wise and enlightened, there are clues. God can't just tells us the clues are there, it's one of those mysteries of faith thing."
edit: A great big "Where's Rapture?" game.

Well, what are you hoping for relative to your current salary? Do you have any idea what their range is?

I totally agree with Sparky.
I've used, "commensurate with industry standards."

I maintain that your current salary is absolutely no business of your potential employer's. What you make now is only relevant to you and your current company. Do NOT tell them your current salary- it will ONLY be used against you. Also, it's none if their business. I can't emphasize that enough.
A few weeks ago I saw a small caravan of what I can only think to call "Rapturemobiles" driving through my neighborhood. They were wrapped with "THE END IS COMING! REJOICE!" decals with May 21st printed all over, and loudspeakers (thankfully not in use) mounted on top. Somebody's gonna have a hell of a time reselling those on May 22nd...
The Lubovitch can buy them and repaint them as Mitzvah Mobiles.

With java on this one!
